ScarFace vs. Competitors (Scarface: The World Is Yours)
Fight:In the right corner of the ring - ScarFace, in the left corner - GTA, Mafia, True Crime, The GodFather etc.
Which game is the best in this genre? Write your opinions ...
My IMHO is the cooler The GodFather game in the genre yet, but ScarFace also keeps on top.
Yeah, well, and the tastes ...
The Godfather is EA's greatest failure, you can read the beginning of my translation of the article comparing the Mafia and the Father - although it was made by biased Americans - there is still some truth about the game.
The leader among these games is Mafia, only there is such an atmospheric storyline saturated with the spirit of those times ..
Ps. Did you play the Mafia yourself?
oh, not very temka. Here, you know, everyone has their own opinion, respectively, everyone considers himself right in this subjective sense. And, it has been verified, there are always individuals who, as soon as their drahacenous "yumkho" is challenged, immediately smear a piece of turd on their tongue, and rush to shower the challenger with angry cries. The squabbles between the HyTyAshniks and the Mafiosi immediately come to mind, isn't it?
Alas, this Temka will hardly be able to "avoid" quarrels.
Bang your head here. Into the monitor. In your. With a running start. You can jump. Do not slow down. Do not use protection. Do not take time off. Here it will be knocked out by your heads: "Shame on arcade games without a plot and meaning."
Now here. Flowers and sacrificial offerings such as gold and food should be placed here. I will wear it and am I. But they are intended for only one game. Which one?
* Takes out a lupare * But guess what. One attempt, and shots - 2.
Did you play the Mafia yourself?
I played, but I liked it differently than The GodFather, I finished some missions (for example, a race outside the city, some missions with pursuit, etc.).
Alas, this Temka will hardly be able to "avoid" quarrels.
Will be ardent, but not within the framework of the rules, proving their opinion and insulting the elections of other users, we will delete, we will not "rust".
2 Blockhead
I still don't get it. Well, what kind of game?
BOOM BOOM !!!
Caption: "You shot the egg right ohho."
Of course, "Mafia" ...
On the other hand, now I pass "Bogopapu" for the second time, and this is also an indicator ...
Alas, this Temka will hardly be able to "avoid" quarrels.
Perhaps the first time they are not buit ... There are few people on this forum so far, and among them there are hardly any individuals who will provoke these quarrels and take an active part in them ...
Now, sobsno, on the subject:
Personally, I think that is definitely ahead of Scarface and Mafia ... But I will not divide them into first and second places ... As for the rest, I will refrain from commenting ...
For reference, The GodFather received an average rating in the world editions of 8.1, on PG like 8.2, but the main thing is, of course, not the ratings but the respect of gamers, here the opinions are divided.
ScarFace surprised me as well. At E3 2005, everyone made a laughing stock of the game, called it a clone of GTA BC and scolded the engine, at E3 2006 everyone, seeing the video, closed their mouths and called it (the video) one of the best not current E3. IGN gave the game about 8.6 points, which also says a lot.
Therefore, these 2 games are still on the list of the best in the genre for me.
PS But GTA 3 is out of competition early :)))
Well, let's hope they don't bring the fufels here in the near future.
ZY I will refrain from answering on the topic for now - I have not yet completed Scarface, but it is not necessary to guess in advance, I was convinced from my own experience.
To begin with, I would like to ask the respected ReDoX how it happened that GTA and Mafia are in the same corner with such uh ... “great†games like Tru Crime and GadFazer?
My IMHO is the coolest game in the genre The GodFather yet, but ScarFace is also holding on to the top. Heh, okay, since IMHO I won't argue, the only thing I don't understand is holding on top of what? ..
I played, but I liked it differently than The GodFather, I finished some missions (for example, a race outside the city, some missions with pursuit, etc.). Interestingly with me it is exactly the opposite. In GadFazer, the missions were boring and uninteresting, there was no desire to play. And when I remember these identical shops, oh blah, how pathetic, how could I play this? I played purely because at that time there was nothing else on my computer. Although, perhaps even this cannot serve as an excuse for me.
The Godfather is EA's greatest failure. Here I completely agree that electronics engineers should do what they do best, that is, churn out their own Nid odds, and not try to get on the second stool. And the Sims started to come out less often, or do I think? ..
As for ScarFace, it's not bad. Certainly not GTA and Mafia, ScarFace will be a lower level, but still two heads higher than such an article as Tru Crime and four heads higher than such squalor as GadFazer and Driver (cute laughing stocks for a fan of GTA and Mafia).
Alas, this Temka will hardly be able to "avoid" quarrels. On this forum of the forgotten by all game rarely someone happens. I myself got here now purely by accident, I decided to unsubscribe. I would be pleasantly surprised if someone else leaves a couple of posts ...

Heh ... Oddly enough, I also got here purely by accident - I was looking for ways to get music from the game))) So be it, unsubscribe.
In my opinion, the game can be put on a par with Mafia and GTA (except for GTA: San Andreas), since being essentially a clone, Scarface has some originality. I would not put trash like The Godfather and True Crime (which, however, has original ideas) next to these three games.
The game really has something to do: drug dealing, shooting street gangs, buying cars, etc. The satellite phone makes life much easier, with which you can call a car, buy weapons, etc.
One of the main advantages is the soundtrack. Music, by the way, does not turn off when leaving the car - another plus. The graphics, although far from advanced, and not very well optimized, looks, in my opinion, better than in GTA: SA.
There are not too many weapons, but more is not needed. It was done at a decent level. Another advantage is the atmosphere. The plot, although not particularly original, is a worthy continuation of the film.
I will also leave my comment on the competitors of Scarface. As it is now commonly called, this is a "GTA-shaped" game. But many have already forgotten that the first three-dimensional city where you can drive was not in GTA, but in Driver. Then GTA went on foot under the table, offering an exciting, but simple "ride-shooter". After a slight stagnation with Driv3r and the purchase of the brand by Ubisoft, the latest Driver is a very, very strong competitor not only for Scarface, but also for GTA: an extremely atmospheric game has been released with good (especially for games of this genre) car physics and a solid, cohesive storyline. that in comparison with it, Scarface looks pale, if not for one circumstance: this is not just a gta (driver-) clone, this is a kind of continuation of the film and the emphasis is not on photorealism and the physics of the car, the atmosphere itself is important here ... And there is enough of it in abundance. When you walk with an AK-47 at the ready against the Diaz gang, or when you deliver coke in an armored car to restaurants, or you rush in a scarlet Ferrari along the coast of a tropical island - everywhere you feel like you are in a movie. Sometimes such things reach the point of absurdity, such as "homing" weapons or unambiguously arcade car physics (try to steer in Driver Parallel Lines after Scarface!) ... In general, "if Nikanor Ivanovich's lips were put to Ivan Kuzmich's nose" what good of this? Actually, these are my grumblings - the game is actually wonderful! Don't compare! Just watch Scarface again, then play! :) Great unity. or you rush in a scarlet Ferrari along the coast of a tropical island - everywhere you feel like you are in a movie.

My favorite is Scarface, gta San Andreas. And a little mafia.
The mafia simply doesn't have what is in the GTA and Scarface.
Not even 3 years have passed and I again accidentally wandered here ...
What can I say from the height of today. Well, for starters, the title of the topic is wrong, then I did not pay attention to it. From the name, some schoolboy might think that we are talking about some great saga with a lot of competitors ... This is not entirely true. On the contrary, the release date of this game was chosen so that it would not suddenly run into some nasty GTA, so that it would not accidentally kill this masterpiece
Here I also saw my favorite copy-paste, which is often poked by fans of GTA clones. I quote: But many have already forgotten that the first three-dimensional city where you can drive was not in GTA, but in Driver. Then GTA went on foot under the table, offering an exciting, but simple "ride-shooter". Although this message was written a year and a half ago, I will still write something about, so to speak, for posterity, for history
My dear friends, perhaps for someone it will be a revelation, but when the GTA walked under the table on foot, the Driver was not even in the plans. Moreover, if it were not for this nasty GETEA, no one would have thought of your Driver. Yes, there was a three-dimensional city, but it was impossible to get out of the car, of course, you are only a driver (drove). Why is this game cooler than regular racing? Yes, there was a three-dimensional city, but there was no freedom. In GTA, between missions, you did what you wanted, in the Driver, you were immediately poked with another mission. Yomanarod, even people could not be pressured there! It was more interesting to play regular races or other "shooting games" ... that's why I preferred 2D GTA ...
the last Driver is a very, very strong competitor not only for Scarface, but also for GTA: an extremely atmospheric game with good (especially for games of this genre) car physics and a solid, cohesive storyline has
come out. , where he even accidentally got into a fight with some guy who was trying to prove that, on the contrary, it is a masterpiece of the game industry. He even touchingly convinced that Driver is of a different genre from GTA and they cannot be compared ... Such times ...
Hmm .... Their genre is of course similar, but all these games have completely different character and atmosphere of the game. Now we see the 30s of the last century, the foundations of the current mafia, then our time. It is not correct to evaluate them as one thing in common.
Scarface - the same GTA SA or VC, only there will be more opportunities. (Except for one thing: how to passersby do not run freaks get up and quietly go further)
So it seems to me, of all the GTA Scarface best (even if you take the 4 piece, Scarface in something greater than GTA.)
As for Mafia, I played it for a long time, but I did not like it. I don’t know why.
As for the similarities: There is
so much Scarface in GTA 4!
And the idea with the emigrant, and the phone, etc.
So, see for yourself: It wouldn't be Scarface, it wouldn't be our GTA 4, at least as it is now.
